I’ve read quite a few submissions for Fan Friday over the past couple of years, but this week’s story really touched me. Timmy G. is a 27 year-old Boston Celtics fan from Chelmsford, Ma. He’s loved the Celtics all his life, and has been a season ticket holder for 5 years now:  I have been [...]

Today marks the 19th anniversary of Reggie Lewis’s untimely death.  In honor of Reggie, today’s Sneaker Rewind focuses on Reggie’s Reebok Pumps.  Reggie was sponsored by Reebok during the brand’s  early 90′s heyday .  Number 35 wore the Omni-Lite and D-Time model of the shoe.  Reggie (along with teamate Dee Brown) helped popularize the Pump [...]

Bill Russell continues an improbable run in our Ultimate 1-on-1 tourney.  After taking out Green Bracket 3rd seed Reggie Lewis, he moved on to eliminate 2nd seed Tommy Heinsohn in our last matchup.  He'll now take on the Larry Bird/Kevin Garnett winner later this week.  For now, we move on to the White Bracket, and [...]

In a bit of an upset, 12th overall Bill Russell beat 5th overall Reggie Lewis in our Ultimate 1-on-1 tournament.  I really saw Reggie's do-it-all kind of game as being too much for even Russell to stop, and I didn't see Russ as enough of a 1-on-1 guy to make it past Reggie.  Remember, folks, [...]

Kevin McHale made short work of his former point guard yesterday.  Almost 90% of you think McHale would win a 1-on-1 against Dennis Johnson. He moves on to face the winner of the Rajon Rondo, John Havlicek matchup.  That's a few days away.  Today, we've got Reggie Lewis matching up against Bill Russell.   (5) [...]

We nearly had a unanimous decision in matchup #4.   Bill Russell got all but TWO votes in his matchup with Frank Ramsey.  We'll see how he does against Reggie Lewis later in the tournament.  Today's matchup is a doozy, though.  We've got 13th overall seed Cedric Maxwell going up against 20th seed Antoine Walker.  [...]

 A few weeks ago, we noticed Dime Magazine doing a league-wide 1-on-1 tourney where fans voted on the winners.  We thought it was a fantastic idea, so we… uhhhh… borrowed it.  Except we're putting our own little twist on it.  We went back through the annals of Celtics history and put together the ultimate 1-on-1 [...]

We lost you 18 years ago today.  We've felt the sting of your loss ever since.   Rest in peace Reggie [...]

Photo by Stephen Dunn/Getty Images Every morning, we compile the links of the day and dump them here… highlighting the big storyline. Because there's nothing quite as satisfying as a good morning dump. Los Angeles is not helping its image with losses such as Friday’s 100-95 defeat to Sacramento, a game the Kings led by [...]

For old times sake, we’re going to take a quick ride on Doctor Emmitt Brown’s DeLorean all the way back to April of 1993.  Newest Celtic Shaquille O’Neal was a svelte rookie playing for the Orlando Magic, hosting the Celtics in a late season game.  The Celtics had just come off a thrilling victory against the [...]
